How To make Passion Fruit Tea

When I was in high school, my friend’s mom would make an incredible purple drink that she called “energy tea.” She would blend it with milk and flavorizer (I don’t know what to call those ingredients) and then sweeten it with stevia or honey.

It had a pretty cool name, so I tried making my own version of it once! It is probably not as popular as her recipe, but it is totally unique and interesting. What makes this beverage special is the passion fruit powder you add to it.

Passion fruits are in-season right now, which is why I included them in this drink. They taste like a combination of kiwi and grapefruit. If you can’t get your hands on some passion fruit juice, no worries! You can use fresh or dried berries instead.

This article will teach you how to make delicious passion fruit tea at home.

What are passion fruits?

Passion fruit tea is made of just one ingredient: dried passion fruits! Passion fruits are nature’s natural beauty products, full of vitamins, minerals, and health benefits. They contain high levels of vitamin C, which aids in immune system function and oral health.

Passion fruits also pack a special compound called furanocoumarin, or psoralen. This chemical can enter your body directly, or be processed into an inactive form that needs to be digested before it works.

However, research does not show that passion fruit extracts work as a cure for any disease. Rather, they may improve how well you respond to certain treatments, such as chemotherapy for cancer.

Tips for making passion fruit tea

Letting the pulp sit in the water to soak up some of the liquid can sometimes lead to stomach issues due to an ingredient in the pulp- tartaric acid. If you are very sensitive to tartaric acid, then only use freshly squeezed juice or bottled passion fruit tea!

It is important to make sure that your mouth is well hydrated before drinking the tea as it contains sugar. Add enough milk so that you have just a slight bit of sweetness after mixing with the drink. You should also be aware that passion fruits contain small amounts of oxalate, which contribute to kidney stones.

When preparing the tea, add one cup of boiling water to 1 cup of passion fruit pulp and let it steep for 8–10 minutes. Strain the tea and mix in sweeteners such as honey or Stevia until it tastes good!

Fruit leather

One of my favorite new health habits is making an effort to make my own fruit leather every week. I have mentioned this site before, but they are changing their formula and adding additional ingredients so I’m going to include them here!

I made my first batch over a year ago and it has slowly melded into part of my diet. It takes around 30 minutes to do and you can easily make enough for one or several people.

The best thing about this recipe is that there are no calories nor sugar in the liquid used to blend the fruits together. That means you can mix in whatever type of juice, water, milk, etcetera you want to create your own flavor.

My favorites have been plain watermelon skin leather and mango buttery leather. They both taste great! (Make sure to use ripe fruits otherwise it won’t work.)

I usually buy all of my dried fruits and vegetables in bulk at Costco as well as some fresh produce because it really costs nothing extra. When buying dried fruits, look for ones that have not high fructose corn syrup added to it. My rule of thumb is if it says “natural sweetener” then it doesn’t contain HFCS.

Once the fruits are mixed with the right amount of spreader material (we like coconut oil) they roll up into thin sheets which we then refrigerate or dry in the oven until hard.
